What is the main theme introduced at the beginning of Chapter 15?

Chapter 15 begins by establishing a reverent tone, opening with salutations to various deities and the Guru. The central theme introduced is the profound relationship between the storyteller, the listeners, and the Guru, Sai Baba. The author humbly requests the listeners' attention, comparing them to a vast ocean that accepts all rivers, whether they are pure like the Ganges or a muddy stream. This analogy, found in Chapter 15, emphasizes the author's desire to immerse themselves in the listeners' devotion and highlights the grace required to appreciate the sacred stories that will follow, which are promised to bring devotion, peace, and liberation to the sincere.
